Creating a Savedlist in Colleague - XSAV

Employees use these steps to create a savedlist in Colleague to facilitate the viewing or processing of multiple records at the same time.

This custom process is helpful for office staff who may not be familiar with file layout and and "key field structure"   For the Advanced User, they have access to the SLED screen.  The main difference is that XSAV will Validate all of the records on the list to make sure they exist in the file.  SLED offers no validation and just assumes you know the files.  For example, there are some older student records that have less than 7 digits.  If you import a list from excel and a record does not contain the leading 0's to their ID to make it a 7-digit ID number, That record will be skipped in any reporting done.  XSAV will catch that issue before allowing you to save it.  SLED will allow it to be processed, but will be skipped in subsequent output.
